Additionally, he has organized several national and international scientific and educational meetings, where he has lectured extensively on pediatric pain management and care strategies.
“Dr. Suresh’s tireless efforts to advance the state of our knowledge on the value and techniques of regional anesthesia in pediatric patients, and to share that progress, both within the specialty and with multidisciplinary teams, has improved surgical care and pain management for children all over the world,” said ASA President Michael W. Champeau, M.D., FAAP, FASA. “It is my great pleasure to congratulate Dr. Suresh on receiving this year’s Excellence in Education Award.”
Dr. Suresh served as chair of ASA’s Committee on Annual Meeting Oversight (AMOC) for ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2022 and currently serves on the Executive AMOC. He is an oral board examiner and former president of the American Board of Anesthesiology. Additionally, Dr. Suresh served as chair of the Board of Trustees of the International Anesthesia Research Society (IARS), where he currently serves as their physician executive. He was also a member of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education’s (ACGME) Residency Review Committee for Anesthesiology.
Dr. Suresh served on the Board of Directors of the Society for Pediatric Anesthesiology (SPA) and the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA Pain Medicine), receiving ASRA Pain Medicine’s Distinguished Service Award in 2016 and the Gaston Labat Award for his excellence in regional anesthesia in 2023.
Dr. Suresh received his medical degree from the University of Madras Stanley Medical College in India. He completed a residency in pediatrics at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, a residency in anesthesiology at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois, and a fellowship in pediatric anesthesiology from Children’s Memorial Hospital and Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. He also holds an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ANESTHESIOLOGISTS
Founded in 1905, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) is an educational, research and scientific professional society with more than 56,000 members organized to advance the medical practice of anesthesiology and secure its future. ASA is committed to ensuring anesthesiologists evaluate and supervise the medical care of all patients before, during and after surgery. ASA members also lead the care of critically ill patients in intensive care units, as well as treat pain in both acute and chronic settings.

Beta-diversity serves as a crucial metric for gauging shifts in species composition over spatial or temporal scales, bridging the spectrum between localized (alpha) and broader regional (gamma) diversity. In the fields of ecology, biogeography and conservation biology, to elucidate the origins and sustenance of geographic beta-diversity patterns, we need to explore both the taxonomic and phylogenetic beta-diversity at different evolutionary depths.

Neurons, the main cells that make up our brain and spinal cord, are among the slowest cells to regenerate after an injury, and many neurons fail to regenerate entirely. While scientists have made progress in understanding neuronal regeneration, it remains unknown why some neurons regenerate and others do not.
Using single-cell RNA sequencing, a method that determines which genes are activated in individual cells, researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine have identified a new biomarker that can be used to predict whether ...

Imagine the life of a yeast cell, floating around the kitchen in a spore that eventually lands on a bowl of grapes. Life is good: food for days, at least until someone notices the rotting fruit and throws them out. But then the sun shines through a window, the section of the counter where the bowl is sitting heats up, and suddenly life gets uncomfortable for the humble yeast. When temperatures get too high, the cells shut down their normal processes to ride out the stressful conditions and live to feast on grapes on another, cooler day.
This “heat ...

About The Study: The results of this study including 121,000 Singaporean children ages 1 through 4 suggest that completion of a primary mRNA vaccine series provided protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although incidence of hospitalization and severe illness is low in this age group, there is potential benefit of vaccination in preventing infection and potential sequelae.

One of the building blocks of ocean life can adapt to cope with the effects of climate change, according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA).
The discovery holds promises for biotechnology developments that could counter the negative effects of changing environmental conditions, such as ocean warming and even the reduction in the productivity of crops.
Looking at eukaryotic phytoplankton, also referred to as microalgae, found over large parts of the ocean, the international team led by UEA’s Prof Thomas Mock discovered the algae have found a way to cope with nutrient starvation, which is predicted to ...
